Auto Skim OXP

Overview

This is a small OXP to give an AI to the player ship. The OXP adds an equipment called Auto Sun Skimmer to TL 10 or higher system. The equipment can be primed by N (shift n) and then activated by n or disengaged by pressing n again. When activated the equipment takes the control of the ship and goes to sun skim automatically. The player has no control on the stick, but can set the speed and use torus drive or injectors.

If you are attacked whilst the equipment is active, you should disengage by pressing n, go fight, and then reengage with n when you have finished.

Issues

Well with the OXP, there is a problem I did not manage to solve yet, it occurs very rarely, but if the planet is between the sun and the player, strange things may happen. I would be pleased if some one confirms that.
